Delinquent Daddy & Tender Teacher was so much softer than I was expecting. It pretty much melted my heart into a little puddle of goo. I loved that this had a single dad (Hatoyama) who was completely clueless but trying his best to raise a kid he hadn’t seen since he was a baby. And I loved that Hitsuji (his sons teacher) was so willing to jump in and help where he could. It was really sweet. I really liked the romance between them even if it happened a little faster than I would have liked. I loved that the adults also took Hatoyama’s sons feelings into consideration when they started dating. All in all this was just sweet and soft and it’s getting a solid four stars!

This is a very cute BL story. Hitsuji and Hatoyama are trying their best to give Hinata an amazing childhood and it is so sweet how Hitsuji is trying to help Hatoyama into a good dad. Love them together. They make a great little family. I would highly recommend this one to someone looking for a tender and charming story to cuddle up with at night.
